Meet Lauren

Hi, I’m Lauren Slawianowski, and I’m so excited to share my love for music with you! I’ve been playing, performing, and teaching for over 15 years, and nothing brings me more joy than helping students discover their own passion for music. I’m a Pittsburgh native, and I’ve been fortunate enough to perform across the U.S. and Europe, but my heart is right here, helping students grow and find confidence in their musical abilities.

Music has always been a huge part of my life, and whether I’m playing piano or singing, I love passing that joy on to others. 

I graduated magna cum laude from Westminster College with degrees in Music Education and Spanish. Over the years, I’ve worked with students of all ages and skill levels, from beginners to those pursuing big musical dreams. 

Along with having my students perform within their local school districts and community musical organizations, I have also assisted students in achieving acceptance into Pittsburgh Youth Philharmonic Orchestra and Pittsburgh Youth Choir, earn professional leads in Pittsburgh Musical Theatre and Civic Light Opera, and gain acceptance into renowned music schools as future educators and performers. 

Teaching isn’t just about technique for me – it’s about creating a space where students feel comfortable to explore, make mistakes, and grow.

Over the years, I’ve come to see the unique power and flexibility that online learning offers. Teaching music online allows me to reach students wherever they are, and I love how it brings high-quality, personalized music education directly into students’ homes. In an online setting, I can tailor each lesson even more closely to individual needs, helping students make progress in ways that feel natural and enjoyable. It’s exciting to see students thrive in their own environments, where they’re comfortable and able to focus fully on their music. The online format not only opens doors to new students but also lets me support each one more fully, regardless of distance.

I truly believe that music should bring joy, and that’s what I aim for in every lesson. Whether you’re preparing for an audition or just want to have fun learning, I’ll be with you every step of the way, cheering you on.

When I’m not immersed in music, you’ll probably find me gardening or planning my next travel adventure.
